while searching for some strange KDE behaviour (see bug 107 about
those icons), I found at least three different tmp directories:
/tmp/
/var/tmp/
Those are historically grown ... /tmp is the really temporary one,
discarded when rebooting, while /var/tmp is for stuff that is to be
preserved after a reboot.

So while /tmp nowadays frequently is on a ramdisk, /var/tmp is not.
Exactly, e.g. KDE has its cache files in /var/tmp so that the startup of
KDE is not slowed down when /tmp is cleared on system boot (tmpfs).

Really? I use /tmp for packaging and patching - and these files stay there untouched after several reboots.
